It looks like it could be a pipe connected between cars of a train?

I am still trying to work out what yesterday's offering was. Yesterdays offering was a serving of fish and chips. And no its not a pipe connected between cars of a train. |

Yesterdays offering was a serving of fish and chips. Oh! Which was the fish and which was the chips? Why did Christopher J think that fish and chips looked like a pipe between cars? |

Yesterdays offering was a serving of fish and chips. Oh! Which was the fish and which was the chips? *laughing* The chips are the long rectangle looking and have potato in them. The fish is the white thing that is covered with batter. (yes I do know what you are doing. I figured it out last night) |

Jesus Christ that pic's waaaay to small to even try and guess what it is.
Probably overhead wiring though...

Post by pakenhamtrain on Jul 14, 2006 1:32:39 GMT
No its not the overhead. Perhaps a bigger picture then.  It should give a few clues. |

a drive shaft. * a wild guess*

No not a Drive shaft.

Well let us look at the facts:-
1. There is oil on the object in question.
2. You have just mentioned the word 'flippers' in another thread.
3. Yesterday's picture apparently included a fish.
Are these clues?
|
|
|
|
Post by pakenhamtrain on Jul 14, 2006 2:52:54 GMT
1. one is a clue.
2 and 3 are not clues.
A BIG clue: It is connected to another bar and moves.
(whats longest time of a quiz like this.)

A BIG clue: It is connected to another bar and moves. A barman?  But we have already established that the clock on this forum and the ones on the stations in Melbourne are not working. |
|
|
|
Post by pakenhamtrain on Jul 14, 2006 3:07:24 GMT
No it isn't a barman.
The ones on the Validators are working. ;D
|
|
|
|
Post by CSLR on Jul 14, 2006 4:12:27 GMT
OK
So we have established that it is nothing to do with fish and chips and it is not a barman.
I am going to take a long-shot here. Is it a photograph of something on an railway in Australia?
|
|
|
|
Post by pakenhamtrain on Jul 14, 2006 4:15:29 GMT
Yes it is a photograph of somthing on an railway in Australia? But what?
|
|
|
|
Post by CSLR on Jul 14, 2006 4:19:41 GMT
What is this and what is it attached to? Right. That is the second part of the question answered then. It is attached to the Australian railway system. |
|
|
|
Post by CSLR on Jul 14, 2006 4:27:47 GMT
Is it in any way connected to the signalling system?
|
|
|
|
Post by pakenhamtrain on Jul 14, 2006 4:30:32 GMT
Sort of. It is attached to track circuits. In some loacations it the siginal will not change unless this moves.
|
|
|
|
Post by CSLR on Jul 14, 2006 4:38:32 GMT
Is it something to do with the pointwork?
|
|
|
|
Post by pakenhamtrain on Jul 14, 2006 4:41:34 GMT
No it has nothing to do with pointwork.

Is it some kind of trip-cock system, as seen on our great underground system? ;D
|

Post by pakenhamtrain on Jul 14, 2006 23:06:11 GMT
No not trip-cock system.
A BIG Clue: This moves and moves a bigger thing so It protects Idiots.

Part of a boom gate?

Post by pakenhamtrain on Jul 15, 2006 5:08:20 GMT
It's not a part Boom gate. It is close to a boom gate though.
Most Melbourne level crossings have this.

What does the moss growing on it do?
|
|
|
|
Post by pakenhamtrain on Jul 15, 2006 11:27:52 GMT
The moss does nothing. Heres another clue.  |
|
|

Post by stanmorek on Jul 15, 2006 11:43:16 GMT
Did you take this picture? Is it accessible to the public? Is its automatic or hand operated? It looks close to the ground or a wall.
|

But we have already established that the clock on this forum and the ones on the stations in Melbourne are not working.
